Sequels in December 2015

There are several opinions for these two verdicts. The government is going to amend the legislation about the term women are prohibited to remarry. But, shared sir name policy is still supported by many Japanese. I guess it will take another decade till Japan accept separate sir name style.

The government decided that newspaper should be also exempted to the consumption tax hike. Some people criticize it suggesting the media will be not able to keep the eye on politicians critically because they are benefited by this policy. I think the media can maintain their critical stance on the authority even if they are subjected to the exemption. But, newspaper will no longer survive in Japan, to begin with.

Donald Trump is still continuing aggressive comments on the media. It is unsure whether he will be banned from Republican Party. I expect Americans to make a rational decision, even if there are something to be of value in Trump's thoughts.
